Recipe: Baked Lentil Chilaquiles Casserole
[1]Summary: Familiar Mexican flavors combine in a versatile, easy casserole for a dish that can take you from brunch through dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 quart salsa fresca
- 1 (4-ounce) container diced Hatch chiles (use the ones you have stashed in your freezer! [2]) or use canned diced green chiles
- 1 bag (10-11 ounces) restaurant-style tortilla chips
- 1 (17.6-ounce) pouch steamed ready-to-eat lentils
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1/2 of a bunch of fresh cilantro, rinsed, dried and finely chopped
- 1 (8-ounce) bag extra sharp shredded cheddar cheese
- 3 scallions, thinly sliced
- Garnish: sliced California avocados, sour cream or Greek yogurt, sliced black olives (all optional)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350F degrees.
- Put salsa, Hatch chiles and 1/2 cup water in a bowl and stir to mix. Set aside.
- Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. You will be making 2 layers of all the ingredients, and you can put them in any order you like, but this way works well:
- First layer: half the corn chips, half the salsa, half the lentils, half the corn, half the cilantro, half the cheese and 1/3 of the green onions.
- Second layer: rest of the corn chips, rest of the lentils (or nearly all of them; it is OK if you want to have some lentils left over), rest of the corn, rest of the cilantro, rest of the salsa, rest of the cheese and half of the remaining scallions.
- Bake, uncovered, for 35 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle the remaining scallions over top, and serve immediately. Serves 12.

I adapted this recipe [4], which I tasted at the blogging conference Big Traveling Potluck 2, created by Pam Anderson. I altered the method a tad, subbed lentils, added cilantro and a couple of other tweaks to suit myself and what I had on hand. Yum!

Today’s Sunday Supper recipes
[6]This week our #SundaySupper blogger crew is celebrating Father’s Day, sponsored by Gallo Family Vineyards [7]. They’d love it if you connected with them on Facebook [8] | Twitter [9] | Instagram [10] | YouTube [11].
Check out the special in-advance Father’s Day dishes we have lined up for you on the Sunday Supper buffet table, and our wine pairings for each of them. I recommend you try my delicious Baked Lentil Chilaquiles Casserole with some light, fruity Gallo Family Vineyards Café Zinfandel [12], made in a smoother, lighter style than traditional Zin, and tasting of strawberry, raspberry and watermelon. Or how about their Pinot Noir [13] if you don’t like a sweet wine (find them with their store locator here [14]) and get a $1 off digital coupon here [15]. If you don’t want Chilaquiles today, choose something else from the menu below that rings your chimes:
